Not here.... but busy

Hello lovely, lovely peeps, I have missed you so much, but such a lot has been happening over the last few weeks- I have just met myself coming backwards!

I started my first Open University module ( introduction to the Social Sciences) on 6th - my first assignment is due soon. I'm enjoying it, but still finding my feet.

Where are they?

I can now sit down and really enjoy stitching and stitches again.I'm so very grateful and thankful. Rather than ramble on, I have prepared for your delight - a whistle stop picture tour of my October. Do you want a peek?

Here we go!

Another birth sampler had to be created for gorgeous little Emily Rose Frances Carlson (another great niece by proxy - sort of).

It's over 25 years since I stitched anyone else's design, these ladies' work is amazing, I learnt so much.

Couldn't resist buying some of Les Designs wonderful threads! Yummy.

Here I am trying to get a decent photo of Les and Nikki's work with my awful phone. My camera was too heavy to take, boo hoo.

I had a beautiful autumn bouquet as a 'thank you' from my smashing MIL, bless her.

This handsome fellow landed on our neighbour's roof! I think the Jackdaw was a bit miffed.

Pretty, pretty, soft and scrummy yarn has been purchased. The new members of our family - and another born again crocheter in the family (yes, you know who you are!) are being held responsible!

Dr Bob has come to live with us. He was going to be for one the little ones, but I just didn't feel the yarn was suitable. So I made a little revered waistcoat and scarf and he has became the bunny version of Dr Who! Andy has adopted him....

Your Rainbow Bunnies are lovely. I so envy you for being able to take a class by the famous Master Stitchers. I am so sure it was a real joy to learn from them.

I have the book Flora and Fauna but was interested in the new book called Just Stitch. Was you able to take a look at it and if so what did you think about it. Do you know how much it cost?? Thanks for helping me with my questions. Much appreciated. Hugs Judy cjquilter00@charter.net

I can't believe how industrious and creative you have been. So many beautiful finishings. Love the quilt, love all the stitching and that thread! Glad I stopped by here, now I'm inspired to do even more!
